THE COUNTRY AGAIN SAFE.
Finances of the Young Repub-
Iican Club Settled Up.

The Young Mems Republican club
had a breezy time last night in the en-
deavor to arrive at some satisfactory
accounting for its finances. The club
has collector, financial committee, a
financial secretary and treasurer, all OF
whom seemed to have had more or less
to do with the 500-odd dollars which
was shown to have come into the pos
session of the club. and none of whom
seemed to know what had become of
the money. 1t was pretty concluSively
shown, however. that the treasurer, Mr..
Willis. had no funds, though he was not
present to say so. 1t was also shown
that there were several vouchers out
standing which the secretary had issued
and the treasurer had not paid, and
that the club owed $50 for rent
and $40 for stove and $40 for
Il band, and SIS for torches, which the
county committee had partly agreed to
pay. The young politicians argued and
Subm tilted nations, and voted for an
hour and a quarter without coming to
any conclusions or any satisfactory way
TO get out of the dilemma. Mr.. lngham
finally offered an amendment to the
clubs constitution, providing that III
future the financial committee have the
full and only control of all receipts and
disbursements of funds, which found
favor. Mr.. Fauntleroy took occasion
also TO speak of his experience us Il
financial executor OF the Columbia
Snow Shoe club. and the chairman read
Il general riot act on all the old officers
and their loosenesS in conducting the
business of the club. Such was the state
of things when NJ. j. Bell,
THE COUNTY REGISTER OF DEEDS,
came forward. and handing the chair
man check, said:
Il was called upon some time ago for
a contribution. and cheerfully gave my
check for SIS. The fact that the club is
considerably in debt prompts me to
make this additional contribution, which
l trust will be acceptable
The chairman read the check, drawn
on the Germania bank for 500, aloud,
and the members clapped their hands
in luSty applause. Then Mr.. Fauntelroy
roy got to his feet and moved the heart
felt thanks of the club, and that they be
spread upon the minutes. Mr.. Bell
mOdeStly asserted that no thanks were
necessary, and the motion carried with
flourish. Then Mr.. FauntelrOy said:
Il notice some members of the press
in the room. | move you, MIR. Chair
man, that the reporters be requested to
makespecial mention of this munificent
gift in the papers,"
This went through with rush, too.
and then Mr.. Ingham arose and said:
Il move you that it be the sense of
this club that as long as the club did not
go into executive session the reporters
be requested not to make any mention
of the discussion of the financial diff
eultieS of the club"
The members seemed to think that
would be wise plan, and the chairman
said it would be understood as the
sense of the club. The meeting then adj
journed very unceremoniouSly.
The club elected officers for the ensu-
ing year, as follows: President, NJ. d.
Mum; vice presidents, w. j. Freaney,
G. E. Barnard, ii. B. Willis; recording
secretary, Z. S. Durment; correspond
